Introduction
Hey all! So today I recieved my GST cheque for $66 dollars in the mail. Nothing is more exciting than recieving one of these glorious cheques. Free, unexpected money sitting in your mailbox is simply devine! My cheque went to a very good cause, my birth control for the next 3 months. This is a great cause because Lord knows the world can't handle a bunch of children raised by me.
Out-dated Update
Today I will tell you a story of bravery and stupidity...
I like attention. This is not a new development nor is it news to people who know me. When I was in high school I was probably more of an attention craver than I am now. One night, a group of us decided to walk around the town and drink mickeys of Spiced Rum. (Please do not judge, I am a very different person now. I drink 26ers now, jk, not really but I have matured GREATLY) So we were in a park and I was feeling "under the weather" (aka drunk) and I decided it would be hilarious to climb the fence and jump into the public pool. So I took off my shoes and climbed the fence like a spider monkey, and I will have you know, I am nowhere close to being an athletic person, so it probably resembled a sea lion trying to escape a net. Once I was over the fence, I jumped into the pool fully clothed. Someone told me the cops were on the way so I quickly climbed back over the fence, spraining my arm or something because it hurt…a lot. I learned a lot of important lessons from this night: 1. Drink in houses or bars, not parks. 2. It’s always nice to have a spare change of clothes handy 3. Sometimes attention-getting plans worked because I ended up kissing my crush that night…it was in the alley of a funeral home, but a kiss is still a kiss. (Me=classiest lady ever).

Topic of the Day
Today's topic is Shots.
Everyone has a love-hate relationship with shots. Those tiny glasses of liquid can do wonders; they can bring enemies together, they can seal a deal, they can pay tribute to a friend. They are taken in many different ways, in many different shapes of glasses/cups/random objects, and come in many different flavors.
Pros and Cons of Shots
Pros: gets you more drunk in faster way, makes you look brave, brings people together, you don't have to carry them around, shot glasses are cute, less calories than a drink, etc.
Cons: expensive, potential for gagging/throwing up, most need a chaser so that has to be purchased on the side, end result may be head in toilet or worse

Kinds of Shots
The Dedicated Shot
The Dedicated Shot
Many purchase shots in order to dedicate it to somebody or to celebrate something important. I like when someone buys a round of celebratory shots and everyone is standing in a circle, holding their shots while someone gives a really long (usually drunken and awkward) speech and you just know everyone is thinking "please hurry this up so I can just take this darn shot." I find it awkward when people go to cheers their shots, especially if it is a large group because usually about 10-30% of the shot is spilled in the cheers-ing efforts. I do enjoy a good dedication shot however, it makes me feel as if I am included in something great and worthy of drinking something disgusting.
Bomb Shots
Bomb Shots
Personally, I think bombs are the most disgusting thing...EVER. I despise energy drinks and I hate Jager. I know I sound super uncool right now but those are the facts. Now, most of the times when I am out and somebody offers to purchase me a shot I let them choose what we are going to do. I think…hmm, maybe 95% of the time they choose a bomb of some sort. I hate being that person who is like...oooh nooo, ANNYYYTHING but thaaat waaah (whiney). So I suck it up. Some of the times I can get away with having it as a drink and sip it slowly, but usually the person doing the shot with me expects it to go down in one swift motion and I can't let this person down. I hate every second of it and the few seconds afterwards. (usually there is a gag or two but I try my best to hide it). For me, the after effects of bombs are usually intense.
The Bonding Shot
The Bonding Shot
I am almost positive that most of the greatest friendships of all time started over a shot; Laverne and Shirley, Starsky and Hutch, Turner and Hooch, Milo and Otis...you name it. I find that when you are (for lack of better terms) wasted, you tend to subconsciously pick a person for that night and bond with them. I'm not sure if you get what I'm talking about but I've seen/done it. Maybe you are dance partners for the night, maybe you are making up after a fight, or maybe you just feel like really loving that person tonight. Whatever the reason may be, you always end up doing shots with this person and saying things like "oh my gawd...I’ve seriously always thought you were sooo pretty, seriously", "you know what? We are way better than the rest of our friends...seriousssssssslllyyyyyyyy", "I'm sorry I made out with your ex-boyfriend...but whatever he’s lame anyway" or something along those lines.
I've noticed in Windsor, in girl world, there is still drama and beefs. I feel like if you just went up to the person you aren't really feelin' and say "hey, let me buy you a shot" then EVERYTHING will be cleared up, no matter the severity of the disagreement. I believe in the power of the shot.

The Song Shots, Shots, Shots...etc.
The song Shots by LMFAO. Now, I wonder, when this song comes on in the bar does it actually increase shot sales? I mean, the song is pretty persuasive. I wonder if there are people who go to a bar, buy a lot of shots, wait for this song to come on and then take them all during the song's chorus. Personally, if I’m on the d-floor when this number comes on I mimic as if I were double fisting shots, it seems to be the unofficial dance move for this song so I figure I’m playing it safe with that.
What are your favourite shots? Favourite flavours? Favourite reason for taking them? Comment below!
